The employees are so good with the dogs, caring and attentive. Communication is great. They send photos every time my dog goes to her playdate. She loves it there!
We bring our dog here once a week, and have been doing so for a few years. They’re great people, very friendly. Best of all our dog enjoys going, he gets excited when we pull up, and when we pick him up, he’s all tuckered out after playing with his friends.
My pup is so happy here. My great dane loves this place. He had a bad experience at another day car before so we were apprehensive. He gets so excited when we turn down Elk Trail it is adorable. The handlers are amazing he goes up and greets them individually ( and this is not normal as he is usually apprehensive around strangers). They take such good care of him and I get great feedback at the end of the day. Totally recommend 5 stars ally the way!!!
Marco is a husky, so he sheds ALOT. When he came home after his bath & brushing, I had to adjust his harness-he lost Soooo much fur, more than what I could’ve gotten off. AND he smelt so nice & was very soft.
The staff are kind, attentive and on top of things. I like the enrichment approach to daycare and have never had that at other dog daycares.
Awesome staff Our dog Duke is in excellent hands Lorraine and staff Are so caring Every Wednesday Duke is so excited to be in the orange group

What should I bring to Doggy Day Care?
Once you have enrolled, we will need a copy of your dog’s vaccination records, which you can upload to your online account or bring with you on your scheduled first day. We also ask that your dog comes in on a regular 6-foot flat leash (no retractable or flexi-leads in the lobby) and a quick-release collar. Not sure what a quick-release collar is? No problem! We’ll be happy to show you on your first day. If your dog usually wears a harness while walking, you’re welcome to bring that as well.
If your dog typically eats a midday meal, you can bring it in an airtight container clearly labeled with your dog’s first and last names.
Can I see the complete facilities where my dog will be staying?
Absolutely! We strongly encourage all prospective clients to see our facilities firsthand. We believe a tour is the best way to understand what to look for in a dog day care. You can schedule a visit to tour our complete indoor and outdoor play areas and private rest spaces. We want you to feel completely confident and comfortable with our secure environment. You can also explore our facility and get a feel for what a day at Central Bark looks like by viewing the photos and virtual tours on our website.
